I feel smarter just for watching this “Bohemian Gravity” video.
I love the creator’s comments afterward, especially the understated, “Well, that took a while.”
Yes, it does get weird. But then again, why are you surprised?
Fun Fridays – August 23, 2024
The Oft-Hidden Plus of Writers Conferences
Lock some geeks into a lab
with tech toys and a purpose,
wait a bit… what do you have?
A scientific circus,
in which the beasts go ’rounds and ’rounds
in their curved-space gravity,
eating spinning massless clowns
(does that smack of depravity?)
who blunder through an endless loop,
each circuit a divergence
separating the coherent group
into chaos and disturbance
from which Einstein’s theory, unified,
crawled out, incomplete, and died.
Brilliant, Andrew. You got it all. Would you like it published in God and Nature?
Sy, thank you so much, and I would be delighted to see it published!
Brilliant, Andrew, just brilliant! Too far above my skill level to comprehend, though. Lol
Thank you so much, Roberta!
That was brilliant! The orchestration of how he put all that together was amazing! Like you, Steve, I do feel smarter!
Lots of inside jokes hidden in this. But the bottom line is profound. Physics is stuck. One of the main problems is the reality of infinity. Infinity was originally thought to be a mathematical convenience for use in calculus. But a real infinity makes no logical or rational sense. But it does seem to be real. The end part about the “united” theory of everything is tongue and cheek, because M theory (and all others) don’t actually work to do that. The bottom line is that physics (not to mention biology) turns out to have something really big missing in being able to describe reality. Of course as a matter of faith, I know what that is. It ain’t quarks, bosons, fields or quanta. It’s the creator of it all, the Lord God. And the music is great.
I am totally impressed!!!!
Does he make a living doing this?
This is a classic example of a writer who is so invested in his subject and writing that he powers through, even though it is a sure rejection! Gotta give the kid credit – creativity is outstanding. Subject matter – meaughhh.
Subject matter has mass and takes up space and volume. We could sing about atoms, protons, neutrons and electrons. Yay. Wouldn’t that be fun? Matter matters! 🙂
The mop-head hairpiece was a particularly nice touch.
Much ado, as filled with technical data as it was, hits a brick wall and makes NOTHING seem really, really still beyond the Ken of ordinary mortals. I’d stay tuned and get smarter…about man’s search for Ye Creator with darkened understanding. Or read the gospel of John.
What a fabulous Geek out! As a real bomb at 22 years of military socials I still can’t understand why no one else wanted to discuss Quantum Physics or Ancient Etruscan Civilizations and Architecture…modern topics, ok… The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon, every word in the original three Star Wars Trilogy — watch them in Spanish language, sure. I’m not weird, I’m just wired this way. Anyone up for a song about climate change and biodiversity?
That was wildly impressive. I’ll be sure to share this with my physics-loving dad.
The kid is creative. My science teacher friends will laugh even more than I did.
The best yet!!
